Then, it was off to LSU for a tour of the impressive LSU Football Operations facility and an on-field experience at Tiger Stadium followed by a luncheon at the Louisiana Governor’s Mansion. It was a short trip to the State Capitol where the Young Heroes were able to meet with Governor John Bel Edwards and be officially recognized by the Louisiana Legislature for being role models in their communities.
